Los Angeles at Portland

The L.A. Lakers are not in a good mood after an embarrassing 122-73 loss at Dallas on Sunday. First-year coach Luke Walton questioned both the effort and the team's mental makeup after the loss They have a chip on their shoulder heading to face an erratic Portland squad who is #26 in points allowed, on a 1-4 SU/ATS run losing twice as chalk. The Blazers are 7-20 ATS when following a straight-up win. When these teams clash, the road team is 10-4, so take the points and play the L.A. Lakers.
